A:
In dealing with the issue of your child's father seeing the kids inconsistently and involving the police when visitation is denied, it's important to have a clear understanding of your legal rights and obligations. If there is a custody agreement or court order in place, it's crucial to follow the terms outlined in that document. If the father's visitation rights are specified, denying access could lead to legal complications for you.
If there is no formal agreement or court order, it's advisable to establish one. This can be done through family court. A formal agreement or court order will provide clear guidelines for both parents regarding visitation rights and schedules.
In the meantime, if the father calls the police during a dispute over visitation, the police will typically check to ensure the children's safety but may not intervene in custody disputes without a court order.
For guidance specific to your situation, consider consulting with a family law attorney. An attorney can help you understand your rights and assist in creating or modifying a custody agreement that works in the best interest of your children.
Remember, it's important to address these issues legally and formally to avoid ongoing conflicts and ensure the well-being of your children.
